A fantastic #phd opportunity with a fantastic supervisor, please share!.
Interested in doing a fully funded PhD that will help dispose of our radioactive waste? We are looking for someone to join us @StirBES @Nuclear_WS @RSO_GDF_UK to estimate chemical toxicity to wildlife. Further details:

Blog Post 🚨 the first paper from my PhD has been featured on the @FunEcology blog! It was such a pleasure writing this with them and I would hugely appreciate if you gave it a read for some #bumblebee / #Chernobyl research and a cheeky bee pun 🐝 @StirUni @StirBES @IapetusDTP.
☢️Sub-lethal radiation dose rates at Chernobyl may have unexpected impacts on the overall ecosystem🐝. 📖Check out this blogpost from @JessicaBurrows where she investigates the potential consequences of radiation on bumblebee feeding and metabolism.

We speculate that #bumblebees may need to feed more to repair damage caused by radiation. An increase in consumption for bumblebees could have important ecological consequences, as they may need to spend more time foraging to collect #nectar to fuel their #metabolism.

We found that when bumblebees were exposed to radiation dose rates similar to those currently found in Chernobyl, nectar consumption and metabolic rate both increased.

Our study set out to simulate current #Chernobyl radiation levels in the laboratory, to investigate the potential consequences of radiation on bumblebee feeding and metabolism.

Over 30 years after the Chernobyl accident dose rates are much reduced, but many parts of this landscape continue to deliver chronic sub-lethal radiation exposure to the organisms that inhabit it.

So unbelievably proud to call @Rosie_Mangan a friend and mentor!.
Today I surprised myself a bit and presented my @StirUni research @RoyEntSoc meeting. Last November, during a research expedition, I suffered a traumatic brain injury. I couldn’t have imagined 11 months down the line I’d be back sharing my research at such an event.
